on another note....

Russia's Aeroflot Scheduled To Fly Out Of LAX - Nonstop Flight Scheduled Wednesday

[Joe Hadenuf]

I imagine they are looking at everything right now. The cargo and passengers manifest, air crews, ground crews, reservations, Where the plane was in the past week and who touched it and where etc.....

[Joe Hadenuf]

Thanks for the link.

Perhaps Putin feels that we have not supported him enough regarding Chechnya, but don't you think that the U.S. administration has refrained from criticism and allowed Putin to make his moves there?

We are all cognizant of the Islamofascist threat which confronts us, and Russia, while certainly no Poland, is also no stranger to the Islamic challenge.

I just wonder about muslim countries actually handing over a plane for just such a purpose and then claiming it was hijacked

I totally agree - remember that egyptian flight that was flown straight down before 9/11? See my last post about the Russian flight due out late wednesday from LAX.

This is the first I have heard of this. Prayers to those innocents in Russia.

Put your tin-foil hat on...

Remember the plane that went down near where Tony Blair was vacationing after 9/11?

And one of the Russian planes was headed to where Putin was on holiday at a resort, per one the reports I have read tonight. Also remember the recent threat that Al-Q was going to take down some big world leader before we have our elections in the USA?

Well I guess someone is thinking like I am...

I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Wasn't the official verdict that the pilot committed suicide?

[Joe Hadenuf]

Interesting. Tell you the truth, I am surprised more leaders are not assassinated more regularly. Lots of hard core hate going on out there.

"Police suspect Moscow bus stop blast was terrorist attack"

Good grief.

Police suspect liquid substance in world's oceans is salt water.

FROM YOUR LINK:

Authorities have expressed concern that separatists (Muslims) in war-ravaged (Muslim-ravaged) Chechnya could carry out attacks linked to this Sunday's election to replace the region's pro-Moscow president, who was killed by a (Muslim) bombing in May. Rebels (Muslims) have been blamed for a series of terror strikes that have claimed hundreds of lives in Russia in recent years.

Yes... he praise allah right before he brought in down. Egypt denies he did this, but the voice recorder picked up him praising allah right before the plane had any record troubles.

[risk]

Take care, Russian friends. We join you in sorrow.

[newzjunkey]

Stop talking about Aeroflot.

Planes were NOT Aeroflot!

The Tu-134, owned by Volga-Aviaexpress carrier, flew out to Volgograd at 10:15 p.m. and the Tu-154, owned by Siberia Airlines, to Sochi at 9:35 p.m.

May God Bless the souls of these Russians

Yes, very sad.

If you'll remember, Russia is one of the nations who traded with Iraq and allied itself with France and Germany.

[MarMema]

Used to be Aeroflot but they split into all those smaller airlines after the USSR died.
